Know before you buy
The CX system uses a one-touch lever to expand the case by 25% for extra space, then compresses it back down to its original dimensions. While it fits most airline carry-on requirements when compressed, you should check your specific airline's size limits before expanding it fully for boarding.
The 70/30 split means the main compartment is deeper than the lid, allowing you to pack bulkier items like shoes or folded sweaters more easily. It also makes the suitcase more stable when open, as the weight is concentrated in the larger bottom section.
No, the Power Pocket is a dedicated pass-through compartment designed to hold your own portable power bank. It allows you to connect your devices to a charger inside the bag while keeping your battery secure and accessible.
The adjustable compression panels act like a seatbelt for your clothes, pressing them firmly against the base of the suitcase to prevent shifting during transit. By keeping garments tightly packed and stationary, they significantly reduce the friction that causes deep wrinkles.
The high-strength recycled polycarbonate is engineered for impact resistance and durability, making it highly resistant to cracking. While any hardshell luggage can show surface scuffs over time, this material is specifically chosen to withstand the rigors of frequent travel.
Yes, the built-in TSA-friendly lock is fully programmable. You can set your own three-digit combination, and it allows security personnel to access your bag for inspections without damaging the lock or the zipper.
